The lady herself

It's a feat of the master carver, Khun Prapan Suja in Thailand, that he managed to combine a demur expression, appropriate to a boddhisattva (often translated as a goddess) and a more open expression of a lady bringing compassion to the world - she is the figurehead of a boat after all. In my humble opinion, he combined these two contrasting expressions well. She is not coy, nor wanton. Please judge for yourself - and don't hesitate to comment.

she holds asprig of willow in her right hand and vase of "holy" water in her left hand.

About Me

Like many people, my greatest ambitions in life have been to travel and to write. Thankfully I've been able to walk 3000 kms across India and write a book about the journey called "A Walk Along the Ganges". I've travelled for months in remote parts of the Amazon rain forest and written "Amazon" and "Savages, The Life and Killing of the Yanomami". Sailing has come recently. Now for most of the year my home is a small steel sailboat called "Kuan Yin"
